The school says it does not have the funds, but then, so what? The improvements to the boys' facilities were (as noted) paid for and installed by the parents. And why should the parents of the girls' team do likewise when instead one of them could tattle to stupid Feds who can then force the school to remove the improvements? That way, as is true in every Socialist system, all can suffer equally.
Probably wasn’t even a parent, but some hippie.
